Cabbage growing in a Veggie unit [1]. The Vegetable Production System (Veggie) is a plant growth system developed and used by NASA in space environments. The purpose of Veggie is to provide a self-sufficient and sustainable food source for astronauts as well as a means of recreation and relaxation through therapeutic gardening. [2]
An example of this is vegetable production on the International Space Station in Earth orbit. [10] By the year 2010, 20 plant growth experiments had been conducted aboard the International Space Station. [1] Several experiments have been focused on how plant growth and distribution compares in micro-gravity, space conditions versus Earth ...
